The objective of the Morley-Minto Reforms passed in 1909 was to implement a separate electoral system. This means that the reforms aimed to introduce a system in which Muslims and Hindus would have separate electorates and separate representation in legislative bodies. The idea behind this was to address the concerns and demands of the Muslim minority and ensure their fair representation in the political process. This separate electoral system was put in place to preserve the distinct identities and interests of different religious communities in British India. It allowed for greater political representation and participation by providing a platform for Muslim leaders to voice their concerns and participate in decision-making processes. This reform marked an important step towards communal representation in Indian politics.
